  Cat The: Its Natural History...

  The origin of the domestic cat (Felis domestica) is a subject about which there has been much conjecture and scientific discussion, but without any positive issue. Very long before the cat was kept in this country as a domesticated animal it was possessed by the ancient Egyptians in a tame state, and was, moreover, held in reverence by that remarkable and superstitious people, being regarded sacred to the goddess Pasht. As the domestic cat in different parts of the world will breed occasionally with the wild races of the locality, and as cats are conveyed from country to country, it is probable that our cats are of somewhat compound pedigree. It is considered probable that our fine English tabbies have a trace of the British wild-cat blood in their veins, although it may be obscure. - Summary by the author

  Simplicity, mindfulness, tranquility, attention to detail — all these elements of Japanese philosophy are nor only reflected in the famous tea ceremony but also in kaiseki cuisine.
  
  Why do the pretty Japanese wagashi sweets taste like dusty sugar, why do the tea bowls have dents, why does the soup taste like nothing? Malte Härtig, chef and philosopher, is puzzled when he tries Japan's famous haute cuisine kaiseki for the first time. Neither his Western philosophical approach nor his European culinary training can help him decipher kaiseki. But then he finds a way in through Zen Buddhism and the famous tea ceremony. And with them, he encounters fundamental wisdom and a refreshing attitude, not only towards food, but also towards life.
  
  Malte Härtig takes us on his journey and guides us through a complete kaiseki menu and the experiences he had with it. It begins with the tea itself, continues with the host's preparations, the guest's knowledge, and the making of the tea bowl, and ends with the various dishes. You learn interesting facts and stories about all the elements that have accumulated over thousands of years of tradition: why a fish called hamo plays such an important role, what is special about growing bamboo shoots, and what rice has to do with Japanese identity. And you understand why Japan, the mentality of its inhabitants, and kaiseki cuisine have become so popular in recent years.

  The relationship between the world’s two largest Jewish tribes (in Israel and the United States) is consequential for Jews and for Judaism, but it provides important insights also for Christians – about Jews, Judaism, and Israel, and about America and Christianity. The cultural, sociological, political, and even religious differences that separate Israeli and American Jews highlight the essence of historic and contemporary Judaism. Christian revival always pointed to the Jewish roots of Christianity and of the Christian Bible. Indeed, by gaining a better understanding of Judaism, Christians gain a bette understanding of their own faith and of America’s Judeo-Christian values. 
  This book answers the following questions: 
  -Is Judaism a religion or a nation? 
  -Why are American Jews ambivalent about Israel, whereas Christians support Israel without hesitation? 
  -Why are American Jews losing touch with Judaism, whereas Christians are connecting with their own Jewish roots? 
  -Why are most American Jews liberal-Democrats, whereas most Israelis are conservative? 
  -Why is antisemitism flourishing on the left? 
  -Why is American Jewry demographically stagnant, while Israeli Jewry grows by leaps and bounds? 
  -What is the future of American Jewry and its relationship with Israel?
